Casa Loma Renaissance Faire

July 2 - 3, 2005

This was the first of what may become an annual event at Casa Loma. This weekend was an "experiment" and will determine after this weekend whether or not a "Renaissance Faire" was viable for a downtown location at Casa Loma. Overall, an excellent time was had by all volunteers during this weekend, including fantastic weather and sunshine all weekend.
